New songs of a stranger at the smiling coast
A big drop of tear
by Obinna Chilekezi You left on my pillow
That your big drop of tear
An indelible mark
Of your smile turned sour I tried last night to erase it
And it turned red and blood
As it stared colourlessly at me

Banjul this afternoon and other poems
Banjul this afternoon
by Obinna Chilekezi I can’t comprehend the weather
as the sun goes laughing in this cold
around the town. The skies are songless, but

and barks at the drunk
Who in bleeding...

with winds fanning downward

Food comes first by Obinna Chilekezi
Under the twinkle of his wifely burst
Till truth became for him the sun of anger
And of present hunger.
Hunger befriends the land

Our President,

Hyena for a neighbour (poem)
Hyena for a neighbour
by Obinna Chilekezi

And see the fascinating feline
Awaiting a prey. These eyes have seen weights
Of burdens, endless source tears
But everyone needs a beginning,
A fresh start, with some fun. We all...
